NEW BRAUNFELS, TEXAS -- A parent discovered a 42-inch western diamondback rattlesnake in a backpack left at a New Braunfels school bus stop Monday morning. Although the snake is common in Texas, New Braunfels police say they doubt the snake slipped into the bag itself. "The probability of a 42-inch rattlesnake jumping in a backpack that has nothing else in it school-related wise is probably not the case," New Braunfels PD Capt. John McDonald said. "It looks like someone intentionally left it there."Authorities say they are still trying to locate the woman who called in the report. The snake did not bite anyone and was left in the care of the World Snake Farm, where it will remain until the investigation is complete. "What struck this particular occasion as peculiar to me (was that) this snake was found on a really cold morning," said Jarrod Forthman, manager at the snake farm. "Snakes usually aren’t out on their own in that kind of weather."Forthman, who lost his thumb to a snake bite, says because people react to snake venom differently, a bite can turn deadly very quickly. "When you're bit, you immediately feel like you're on fire," Forthman said. After the investigation, the snake will be released somewhere far away from people and homes.video [link to www.kens5.com]

Deciding they couldn't wait for emergency crews, Haylee and her older sister, Hannah Smith, each grabbed a side and started lifting.

With adrenalin pumping, they tried six or seven times and finally got some movement.

"We just kind of braced ourselves on the tire and just lifted it up," said Hannah Smith, 16.

Jeff Smith said they lifted it up just enough for him to shimmy his way out. His arm remained pinned, however, until a neighbor rushed over with another tractor to finish the rescue operation.

"I don't know how I lifted it, it was just so heavy," Hannah Smith said. "And I could feel it, I could just feel all the weight. But we just did it. We both did."video of girls and dad here [link to www.kptv.com]

Solar Flares: Scientists Change 2013 Predictions …Solar flare predictions for 2013 are once again fluctuating. Space weather experts at NOAA and NASA agree that we are nearing the peak of the Sun’s 11-year cycle, but that is about the only fact that has garnered a consensus lately.Coronal mass ejections (CME) are formed from sun spots. Scientists only learned how solar flares were formed during the past two decades. Since then, attempts to track and predict both CME direction and intensity have been ongoing. Solar Cycle 24 was expected to hit its peak in 2013, but then the experts thought the peak might be on the two-hump variety. Recent solar flare reports largely indicated that the solar peak would likely occur in May. Now the solar storm experts think Sun Cycle 24 might not peak until later in 2013 or possibly even 2014.

Basically, when or if a massive Earth-directed solar flare will hit is unknown. Solar flare activity has relatively quiet as of late. The lack of CMEs has some scientists believing Sun Cycle 24 will have a weak peak, yet others think this could be the calm before the storm.

NASA solar physicist C. Alex Young said, “If you look back in history, many of the previous solar cycles don’t have one ump, one maximum, but in fact have two.” The physicist was a featured speakers on NASA’s “Solar MAX Storm Warning: Effects on the Solar System webcast.

Concerns about a Carrington Event strength solar flare have some scientists prodding Congress to do more to protect our aging and overly-taxed power grid. Stores which sell prepping and survival products are booming. Fears about the possible life-changing impact a massive Earth-directed solar flare could bring are not the only reasons survival gear retailers have experienced a recent surge in sales. EMP attack threats by North Korea and the ongoing gun control debate also likely play a role in purchase habits of survival-focused Americans.

Solar activity, while relatively calm, remains ongoing. The most recent large coronal mass ejections happened on March 15. The CMA prompted a “glancing blow” at Earth two days after it was spotted. The solar flare prompted a mild geomagnetic storm which did not boast any significant effects on the planet.

A strong Earth-directed solar flare has the potential to render the power grid inoperable for various amounts of times, and end radio and GPS signals. The duration of a downed power grid would depend on both the power of the CME and the ability to garner replacement transformers and other necessary repair equipment.How concerned about you about the power grid if Earth is hit by a maximum solar flare?

Seems our magnetics are mingling, we could have some large events for awhile until the polarities are situated in their new polar regions. I believe the trnasition is on.This sunspot was nothing at all to get excited about and BOOM, shows the two fields don't get along.LOL

The storms are just about past me...so I'm off for bed. I had a couple of interesting experiences this evening I thought I would share.

The storms blew through here between 4 and 5pm. Most of them tracked to the north. There was one that split over the lake and had rotation to it...so I hauled the kiddo in her baseball helmet and the dogs up to the safe space. I know, I know...but a mind IS a terrible thing to waste! Anyway after the storm passed...it was still light out. There was still some lightening and thunder...but underneath it...there was another sound...a mix between a groan and a hum...very vibratory. You could feel it. It was so strong...it was disturbing.

Not long after that I sat down with my computer on my lap checking news and weather when something caught my eye. It was still light out. It looked like a bird flying from left to right....then it flew from right to left. I raised my head and watched...and nothing. Then just as I put my head down...it happened again...left, right, left. I lifted my head again...nothing. Then one more swipe...just to the left. I happened about 4 times...and I would stop and watch...and nothing...then head down...it would happen again. Maybe a coinky dink???

Even more interesting...it's happened before. Once out my bedroom window....the same...back and forth and again out the deck doors. I thought I was seeing a shadow. I never get a clear look at the bird....I'm guessing it is a bird.

Stranger still...before it happened I had a series of two instances where strangers on different occasions..spoke to me of experiences they were having. Both mentioned flying things...or things that flew. One guy was very disturbed by his experience.

Birds...seem to be important in my life....I've always been drawn to them. This however...it somehow seems different....a bit menacing...it gives me a chill rather than comfort or a feeling that I need to pay attention.

Anyhoo...if anyone has any ideas...I'm all for exploring....

Moxichick,We have many experiences with birds!!! I believe the spiritual energy of our loved ones who have crossed can use all things in nature to to get our attention. I have been told that when it is a black bird, it is a sign of trouble ahead. Kinda a heads up so to speak. Animals do not have the mental block that sadly us humans have had placed upon us.Thanks for sharing your story, these kinds of things have happened many times to me. I have learned to pay close attention to the timing in which my quinky dinks happen. My Dad was a twin and he and my uncle passed within a couple years of each other. I believe it is both their energies together is why we have so many amazing in your face validations from them.

Morning All!Woke up to the loud ear hissing this morning...Saw thisMASS MORTALITY 160,500 CRABS, 2,000 COMMON LOBSTERS AND A STAGGERING 635,000 MUSSELS, 150 PORPOISES ON A STRETCH HOLDRNESS COAST, ENGLANDENVIRONMENTALISTS have raised concerns for marine life on the East Coast after extreme weather claimed tens of thousands of animals.The “mass mortality” has been put at an estimated 150,000 velvet swimming crabs, 10,500 edible crabs, 2,000 common lobsters and a staggering 635,000 mussels in just one 10-mile stretch from Barmston to Bridlington along the Holderness Coast – in all around 800,000 individuals.Cuttlefish bones have been recorded along the length of the East Coast, as well as increased numbers of dead harbour porpoises on Lincolnshire beaches.The death of hundreds of seabirds, found washed up on beaches from Aberdeenshire to North Yorkshire, has also been blamed on the weather, with over 200 dead or dying puffins recorded on Yorkshire beaches alone between Scarborough and Withernsea.The RSPB have described it as the worst puffin “wreck” seen for half a century, with around 10 per cent of the puffin population lost at Bempton.The Natural History Museum Strandings team says over 150 porpoises have washed up along the East Coast this year, with 12 reported on the Lincolnshire coast. Evidence from post-mortem examinations shows a high level of disease and bacterial infection, which is being attributed to the prolonged winter and stormy weather.Fisherman have been unable to put out to sea because of the strong easterly winds and when they have been able to fish the catches have been low, less than half this time last year, with lobsters still dormant because of the unseasonally low temperatures.Kirsten Smith, Living Seas Manager for the North Sea Wildlife Trusts, said the loss of so many mature adults who should be producing eggs was a cause for concern: “Fishermen are suffering a direct loss of earnings but if anything happens to the habitat or the creatures themselves then you have a knock-in impact for the season after as well.“These things do happen, but there’s the combined effect of scallop dredging last year and the work offshore on wind farms is all going to have a big effect on the marine environment.”The figures were put together by the North East Inshore Fisheries Conservation Authority.Ms Smith added: “In terms of the seabirds it has had the worst effect since the strong easterlies in 1947, and in terms of crustacean mortality I’ve not seen anything like that in the last five years.“It does happen but it has happened in such high numbers in such a short period of time to a lot of species at the same time.”She said lobsters had been plucked out of their burrows and subjected to washing-machine-style churning, which had affected numerous creatures including filter-feeding razorshells, which have been washed up in large numbers at Saltfleetby on the Lincolnshire coast.

If you have never seen it, this is interesting video. I am not sure about this but remember a Carrington doesn't need a solar Max to happen.

Also, two peaks in a solar max makes sense actually. You have the North and then the South pole peaks. currently our North is over and South is sorta peaking if you want to call what it is doing right now a peak.

I agree! Not adding up. If you look at the NRL (Navy's )dataall have been stuck on Feb.02 with those crazy images. Any one know why? I have not seen anyone post about this. [link to iswa.ccmc.gsfc.nasa.gov:8080]

So this is what we know so far. Impact looks to be in the 2-4AM EST range. NOAA issues a geo storm warning at 6Kp so really draw a line from the VT/MA border over to OR with a dip down to north central Co and you get the viewing area. So with that said ya NY is very likely completely in the viewing area.

The latest WSA-Enlil CME Prediction Model released by NOAA SWPC has been updated to include the CME from this morning. They are calling for an impact later in the day on April 13. The solar wind is expected to approach 700 km/s. Other information seems to suggest an impact earlier in the day April 13th. Stay Tuned to SolarHam.com for the latest.

I just read all the posts, and the items about the birds caught my eye. When the storm pasted here for me in the Southwest, I had birds hitting my windows. I posted it to WA and AK a couple of days ago. Yesterday I was washing the marks they left on my rear windows. I found a dead black bird in my yard and had to quickly get it before the furry children did. The wind was so strange thru out the evening. They had to be flying early morning as birds do not fly at night? Strange times indeed. TT, thank you for your advice and I will follow it.....
